I had a bad fall while in the service and have a buddy statement saying just that. The VA used a Statement of Fact.
A. As evidence in the decision dated April 5, 2005 Tinnitus. They accepted his word.
B. And enough weight of the Statement of Fact to warrant the CT of the head for evidence dated 11-28-05 for a 50% rating for PTSD (slip and fall) statement of fact.
I have applied for benefits for lower back pain and injury.
I recently had a MRI of the lower back and the first two words were, "Osteocartilaginous exostosis".
The word "exostosis" is defined as, "A non cancerous growth on the surface of a bone, usually with a cartilage cap, that is due to long-term irritation as a result of osteoarthritis, infections, or trauma".
I believe the key word here is long-term irritation and truma.
I used the Statement of the Case, VA sent 6-17-04, #4, B states "or triggered event" stating the fall triggered my back problems. How do you think the VA will get out of this one? Think there will be more testing? How will they handle the C&P?
